Pregnancy is divided into three trimesters, each with distinct physical and developmental milestones. This calculator helps you determine your baby's due date and track your pregnancy progress by trimester.
How to Use This Calculator
To calculate your baby's due date and track pregnancy trimesters:
- Enter your last menstrual period (LMP) date in the calculator.
- Click "Calculate" to see your estimated due date.
- The calculator will show your pregnancy timeline with trimester markers.
- Use the chart to visualize your pregnancy progress.
Note: The due date is an estimate. Actual delivery dates can vary by several days or weeks.
How the Calculation Works
The standard pregnancy length is 40 weeks (280 days) from the first day of the last menstrual period (LMP). The calculator adds 280 days to your LMP date to determine the estimated due date.
Formula
Due Date = LMP Date + 280 days
The pregnancy is divided into three trimesters:
- First Trimester: Weeks 1-12 (conception to 3 months)
- Second Trimester: Weeks 13-28 (3 to 6 months)
- Third Trimester: Weeks 29-40 (6 months to delivery)
Pregnancy Trimester Breakdown
| Trimester | Weeks | Key Milestones |
|---|---|---|
| First | 1-12 | Organ development, rapid growth, early fetal movements |
| Second | 13-28 | Fetal growth, rapid brain development, visible baby on ultrasound |
| Third | 29-40 | Preparation for birth, fat storage, labor readiness |
Example Calculation
If your last menstrual period was on January 1, 2024:
- Due Date = January 1, 2024 + 280 days = October 8, 2024
- First Trimester: January 1 - April 7, 2024 (12 weeks)
- Second Trimester: April 8 - July 14, 2024 (16 weeks)
- Third Trimester: July 15 - October 8, 2024 (12 weeks)
